Big clothes for big guys.

I need to pick up a jersey from Aerotech Designs this week and I was wondering how they fit. I wear a 3x/4x regular t-shirt. I have a Nashbar 3x jersey that I can barely get zipped. I know the Aerotech jerseys run big, so I'm debating on whether to get a 4x or a 5x.

I ordered their normal Big Man Jersey in 4x, and while it definitely fit, it was much more form fitting than I was comfortable with. Figured I'd hang onto it anyways in hopes it would fit better after I dropped some weight.

I then tried their Colossal Loose fit in 4x and was much happier with it. It fit much more like a regular t-shirt.

I'm a scrawny bastard compared to you guys, but I still get jerseys in xxl despite typically wearing a large t-shirt. for mountain biking I think the skin tight jerseys are too restricting in the shoulders. I would always order the next size up if there was a question.

What is the difference between bike jerseys and just plain dry-fit tee shirts? I have been wearing dry-fit tee shirts while I ride and they seem to be just fine. I am wondering if I would benefit by getting one.

Probably not a huge difference. The zip front and the pockets in back are nice, plus it's longer in back to better fit you while in riding position, I guess.
